Standing with a maverick
Why Sen. McCain's election is good for all Americans — including gays and lesbians.

Both candidates talk about the need to change Washington, but only one candidate has the record, political courage and common-sense solutions to the challenges facing our nation.
Many on the left are trying to caricature a John McCain presidency as "Bush's third term." Nothing could be further from the truth — especially for LGBT Americans. Sen. McCain, unlike George W. Bush in 2004, earned Log Cabin's endorsement because he's an inclusive Republican who is committed to returning the GOP to its core unifying principles and ending the party's disturbing fixation on divisive social issues.
Log Cabin has proven our willingness to stand up to members of our own party to do what is right. We took on Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney during the primaries. We stood on principle in 2004 by refusing to endorse the re-election of George W. Bush. No one knows better than Log Cabin the type of divisive campaign run by President Bush in 2004. Our organization can speak with authority when we say John McCain's campaign bears no resemblance to that divisive campaign.
